Solo Rock Band Instruments Are Coming, They're Coming

To recap, you'll only be able to buy Rock Band this Christmas in one of two ways. Either as the $US 159/$US 169 bundle (PS2/current-gen), or as a standalone piece of software. No individual instruments. How soon, then, can Americans expect individual instruments? Harmonix Boss Alex Rigopolous:

The highest priority is to make sure that as many people as possible can have the multi-instrument band experience this holiday. We are working diligently to get individual instruments into the channel as soon as humanly possible and we have a huge effort in place to make this happen.
